Who is eligible to bid on tax-sale properties?
If you are a Missouri resident, at least 18 years of age, and you provide the collector with an affidavit attesting that you owe no delinquent property taxes, then you are eligible to bid; the affidavit can be downloaded from this website. If you want to bid at the tax-sale you should complete the bidder affidavit, have your signature notarized, and bring this affidavit with you on the morning of the sale. You will be required to present your Missouri driver’s license or Missouri identification card, on the morning of the sale. Non-Missouri residents have additional requirements; see RSMO 140.190.
